The Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) standard has a theoretical maximum speed of 9.6 Gbps and uses the 2.4 and 5 GHz bands; Wi-Fi 6E adds the 6 GHz band to the same standard. The Wi-Fi 7 (802.11be) standard has a theoretical maximum speed of 46 Gbps; it operates in the 2.4, 5 and 6 GHz bands and supports 320 MHz channel width and MLO (Multi-Link Operation, using more than one band at the same time). The speed achieved on site depends on the standard the devices support, the number of users and the building structure. The difference is most noticeable where many devices connect, such as offices and shopping malls, and in low-latency applications such as VR, AR and 8K video. NETGEAR's WAX series access points support Wi-Fi 6/6E and the WBE series supports Wi-Fi 7.

Turkish Law No. 5651 defines those who give people the opportunity to use the internet at a certain place for a certain period as collective use providers. Cafés, hotels, universities, hospitals, shopping malls and companies that offer internet access to guests or employees may fall under this definition; whether you are covered is assessed according to your business's situation. Under the Regulation on Internet Collective Use Providers, access logs must be recorded electronically and kept for two years; those offering internet access in public areas must also set up a system that identifies users by methods such as SMS. Failure to meet these obligations may lead to sanctions, including an administrative fine. MicronTech sets up log collection and time-stamping infrastructure that supports this logging obligation. We recommend obtaining legal advice on which obligations apply to your business.

A VLAN (Virtual LAN) is a method of logically dividing devices that are physically connected to the same network into separate networks. It is used for: separating guest and employee networks, keeping IoT devices apart, limiting access between departments, separating production lines from the office network, and giving priority to IP phone (VoIP) traffic. Managed switches such as the NETGEAR M4250 support VLANs; how many VLANs are needed depends on the size of the network and the device groups that must be separated.

3 copies of data (the original and 2 backups) are kept on 2 different storage media (for example NAS and cloud), with 1 copy at another location, so that this copy can still be used if the others become inaccessible in a disaster. The extended version is the 3-2-1-1-0 rule: in addition there is 1 immutable (unchangeable) copy, and 0 errors is the target in restore tests. MicronTech sets up this structure with Veeam and Synology Active Backup.

For most SMEs and corporate businesses, Microsoft 365 is the more practical option: no separate server hardware is needed, Microsoft handles the updates, spam protection is included in the package and it can be accessed from a computer, phone or web browser. Running your own email server, on the other hand, brings ongoing maintenance, security and backup responsibilities. We choose a license plan that fits your needs together with you and plan the migration to keep the risk of data loss to a minimum.

Yes. For the systems we install, we offer remote and on-site support contracts whose scope is defined together with you according to your business needs. The contract scope, response method and periodic maintenance schedule are finalized at the quotation stage.
